SAMPLE EXPERIMENT:
The value of attending review sessions.
Psyc 2317
PROBLEM: The purpose of this experiment is to determine if attending the review session for the distance education
course, Statistics For The Behavioral Sciences: Psyc 2317, affects scores.
HYPOTHESIS: Null:Students who attended a review session will not score significantly differently than those who do
not. Alternative:Students who attended a review session will score significantly differently than those who do not.
Independent variable-whether or not a student attended. Dependent variable-test scores. Ho:u attendees scores = u
abstainers score ; Ha: u attendees scores =/= u abstainers scores.
SUBJECTS: Students in Dr. Greco’s Psyc 2317 course, Spring, 99 were the population being considered. The class was
a cross-section of Houston’s diverse population. Two samples of N=30 subjects were selected by a process of
randomization from Dr. Greco’s student population. One sample was randomly selected from the population of
‘attenders’, those who attended a review session; and the other sample was randomly selected from the ‘abstainers’,
those who did not attend any review session. Both random samples were cross-sectional in make up, reflecting the
diverse make-up of the student population.
APPARATUS: The exam, a writing instrument, a calculator with it’s instruction card and some scrap paper were the
supplies.
PROCEDURE: Students were informed at an orientation for the course. psyc 2317, that there were two review sessions
(one Friday night and another Saturday morning) that they were recommended to attend. While grading the test, the
evaluator noted which students were recognized from either review session. Those became the ‘attenders’ population
from which a random sample of 30 was drawn. The average score for the ‘attenders’ was compared to the ‘abstainers.
Again, the ‘abstainers’ were that population of students who did not show up at either review session, becoming the
source of the second random sample.
STATISTIC’: An independent ‘t test’ was used to compare the average score for the ‘attenders’ to that of the ‘abstainers’.
This was because there were two means to compare, both measured with continuous level data. Alpha was set at .05,
and the hypothesis was non-directional.
RESULTS: The ‘attenders’ averaged a score of 94, while the ‘abstainers’ averaged 73; significantly different (P<.05).
CONCLUSION: Attending the review session significantly changes scores, therefore, I shall reject the Null Hypothesis
of no effect up scores by attendance. In fact, no student who attended either review session received Et score as low as
73. A subsequent analysis did not find a significant difference between ‘Friday night reviewers’ and ‘Saturday morning
reviewers.
*Note Many of the terms in this example will not be familiar
to you until you have read Chapter 8.
**Note There are no calculations as no data is required for
this assignment. It is a theoretical proposal for an experiment,and the results are strickly hypothetical. It is not
necessary to run any subjects and this instructor would not recommend research conducted without suppervision

How do we do the written assignment?
A. Read the syllabus which describes that assignment and all of its steps. Use the form
or steps demonstrated in the example. The proposal should suggest an experiment you would
like to do, but have not done. There will be no data collected nor calculations, just a hypothetical
discussion of what you think will happen.
B. Choose your own topic from psychology to write about. Do not use the topic in the discussion of what you think will happen.
B. Choose your own topic from psychology to write about. Do not use the topic in the
example, attenders and abstainers. To paraphrase the my example is plagiarism. If you are not
sure that the topic you have chosen is appropriate, ask me.
C. Read the example provided and be sure not to overlook the suggestions at the end
of it. Do not use the independent t test nor Pear’s correlation coefficient.
